I'm going to take a gamble and just try one when a FC test (or final)  
is released - AT&T Plug&share (the 54g model) works just swell in x86  
fedora, I'll try that one first I suppose - I can steal it from my PC  
probably long enough to see if it works before buying another.

It'll also let me test the rpm.livna.org bugzilla rpm in PPC FC.
Would anyone have suggestions for wireless 802.11g not necessarily  
based on Atheros if that doesn't work?

The machine is a 450 MHz G4. I don't want to go 802.11b, and where the  
machine is going (the kitchen) I can't go straight cat5, a wireless  
bridge I suppose would be an option - but I'd rather not do that (I'd  
have bought a slot CRT iMac if I wanted to do that)

I would of course prefer Atheros because that's what my desktop and  
laptop use, and I know madwifi works well - even if it does taint.
